[QUOTE="MannyCAM2001, post: 40160, member: 7007"] FAA Yep, well aware of what’s happening with the drones and the rules. It’s more of a”Maintain Control of your drone at all times” in particular the airspace around it. While flying my Spark one day, a helicopter came out of nowhere. Literally, out of nowhere. Flying a lot lower than usual. Fortunately, I like flying in my comfort zone 1/2 mile or less, 1/2 mile being my limit. I knew exactly where my Spark was in relation to the chopper and quickly dropped her from 200 ft. to 100 ft. I was about 1500 ft. Away. I was able to quickly avoid an otherwise embarrassing situation. If I would have been a lot further out... well don’t like thinking about it. My rule of thumb “Plan to fly, but fly the plan. And stay within your own comfort zone. Cheers, guys “Hey Don’t look at me, I’m making this stuff up as I go along.” [/QUOTE]
